The applicant was injured in a motor vehicle accident and his claim for statutory accident benefits was dismissed in a prior arbitration decision.
In this subsequent decision on expenses, both parties sought their costs of the arbitration.
The arbitrator found that the applicant's case lacked merit, as he brought almost no evidence to support his claims.
Applying the criteria under the Expense Regulation, the arbitrator concluded that the insurer was entitled to its reasonable expenses.
The insurer was awarded $2,785.41 in fees and disbursements, taking into account the applicant's conduct that protracted the process.
